1. What is the Upstox LIC Home Loan Calculator?

The Upstox LIC Home Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments using the standard loan payment formula. It calculates your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) based on principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, distributed equally over each payment period.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Accurate loan calculation helps you budget effectively, compare loan offers, and understand the total cost of borrowing before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
